Back to the Shubs

I'm not sure whether it was the knock to my head or something else, but as of late I have been reminiscing on the past. I've backdated about 2 years of musical interests and have gone back to listening bands such as: Yellowcard, Something Corporate, Rufio, Old School Green Day, Good Charlotte, The Beatles, and Jimmy Eat World. I think more and more about my life each day. Things I've gone through, things that I've done, and things I've seen, that have formed the very basis of my persona.

Lets take it all back... back to the days of watching Nick at Night, and waiting for the release of that new movie on the Disney Channel. The days you took for granted of sitting at that lunch table with your friends. Back to the time when you sat around and listened to music dreaming of that girl that would steal your heart. The days that were so easy yet it always felt like your life was ending or falling apart.

Sometimes, its hard to understand life. When your in school, you hate it and want summer to come. But once summer is here... for some reason you want it to end and for school to start so you can see your friends. For years you would dream about love, but then once you have it and lose it, you somewhat wish you never had it. But you soon realize the old saying is right: "It is better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all."

I guess the point I'm trying to make after sitting here for a while in deep thought, is that although you're always told not to take life for granted, you never truly realize it until one day it hits you... that or a golf club does.
